I Think They Call It Heaven

I wrote this song a long time ago, soon after meeting the woman who would become my wife. I encapsulates how I felt about her early on in our relationship.

I THINK THEY CALL IT HEAVEN
by Joe Herbert

I know of angels in books, stories, and songs
I thought I saw one once, but I was wrong
They only live in fairy tales
It was so hard to believe in that much love
From something I can't see, something I can't touch
Where is this world of theirs
I think they call it Heaven

I've seen love die before, that's not something new
And that doesn't seem like something, that an angel would do
How can that be God's plan?
Yes, I lost faith, I threw in the towel
Until I saw her face, and look at me now
Just look at where I am
I think they call it Heaven

I saw an angel's face, I felt God's grace
How can I describe this place
That she takes me, she's a miracle
She's God's angel
It's unbelievable, but now I believe
I'm on cloud nine, it's hard to describe, but I
I think they call it Heaven

The angel I know, she's missing certain things
There's not halo, and she doesn't have wings
But I know how she makes me feel
Her love for me is strong, she makes me smile
She doesn't do me wrong, she goes that extra mile
Now I know they are for real, because

I saw an angel's face, I felt God's grace
How can I describe this place
That she takes me, she's a miracle
She's God's angel
It's unbelievable, but now I believe
I'm on cloud nine, it's hard to describe, but I

I saw an angel's face, I felt God's grace
How can I describe this place
That she takes me, she's a miracle
She's God's angel
It's unbelievable, but now I believe
I'm on cloud nine, it's hard to describe, but I
I think they call it Heaven
I think they call it Heaven
